Snow Moon Jan 7, 2019
The words “intention” and “purpose” seem more sustainable than “resolution.”
My personal intention this year is to live simply with appreciation and gratitude. And stay healthy!
My artistic purpose is to work hard, experiment relentlessly, take big risks, and share my very best work with you.

WOW!!! What a way to start 2019! Snow Moon is now the bar and I for one can’t wait to see how you raise it. Snow Moon is a jaw dropping experience, Thanks Peter!!!
So beautiful……..Makes me miss Vermont even more. Thank you for sharing your gift with us. Happy New Year:)
Beautiful as always. I wish we had that snow here in Minneapolis. Your painting brightened my Monday. Thank you
Beautiful expression of the calm vibrant glow of the moon on a serene pristine late winter’s day … so reflective of the great gift of nature. Looking forward to your 2019 paintings!
I love this!!
Wonderful photos/painting and words of wisdom; Hoping you have a grand year!
Absolutely breathtaking! So peaceful.
Your use of color is perfection – thank you for sharing.
Absolutely beautiful
Like the different palette.
I’ve been transplanted to Virginia for the past thirty-nine years. In mid December we traveled to Killington for a family ski trip. We visited places we lived throughout the state and introduced our grandchildren to ice fishing. The very beautiful snow moon you painted was one we saw on a chilly 12 degree evening. You did a brilliant job in capturing the cold chill in the air and the stunning frigid woods. Thank you for the eye candy, Peter.
This painting brings to mind the words we’ve so recently reflected upon in our homes and places of worship, “Glory to God in the highest, and peace to His people on earth!”
“experiment relentlessly” I love that!
I too wish you a very healthy new year and a big thank you for sharing your beautiful paintings!
Love, love, love….peaceful, calming, soul touching painting
I lived 8 years in Vermont as a “transplant” and even though I do not miss it, I admire your paintings. My only good memories are those when I spent time hiking the Green Mountains. I have pleasant thoughts of those times and your paintings remind me of some of the scenes I experienced while in the woods.
Peter, so beautiful. We lived in southern Vermont for 60 years. One of the most beautiful places on earth. You sure keep showing us why that is. Thank you.
This is such beautiful peaceful scene to start the New Year!!
Beautiful work Peter. Thank you for a bit of quiet
and serenity in this rapidly devolving world!
Love the colors, beautiful
This is stunning! Your personal intentions are words to live by!
I saw the snow moon from my bedroom window. It was breathtaking, and now to see your painting of it is beyond breathtaking.
This is so different. I love it…
Not only is this painting exceptional but your new years message is simple and inspirational.
May all your wishes come true. Best to you both. Ch
I would love to see more of these vivid and exceptional colors – so calming –
Peter-Gratitude is the word that I’ve selected as my theme for 2019. Your painting and sentiments embody this in this poetic dance of nature from your talented brushstrokes. Truly stunning!
As a born and raised Vermonter spending a couple of months in Texas, I miss scenes like this that you bring to life. I feel as if I’m right there breathing in the still, cold air while basking in the moonshine that illuminates the landscape. Thanks for sharing your art!
Oh, I love glittering snow in the moonlight. The whole scenario changes. But in my town it’s rare. When snow is falling all people are running around like rabbits. Some miles away we have forests and there we can also find peaceful places like the one you chose. It’s romantic. The blue dominates. Another example for your talent for painting snow. I could imagine an exposition called “Winter in Vermont”. The first painting of your gallery I saw was a painting of a lighted wood in the snow. Immediately it was one of my favorites. In Bavaria snow covers villages, mountains, roads, trees and even the railroad. People are not
able to leave their homes. Schools are closed and stores also. But here we have no snow. Greetings from
Duisburg and a happy new year! Doris
